I'm Not a Goddess. (Lookism x Lim Jugyeong Reader)

"They stole it all?" Zack asked.

Namsoo nodded, looking at the ground for a few seconds.

"I'm gonna get hit again..." Namsoo thought. "Will I have to pay it all back?"

"You must've been scared." Zack said which made Namsoo look at him again. "I really should've gone. It's all my fault

"Yeah, it is." Areum said. The two were hanging out again before Namsoo arrived and told Zack what happened.

"I hope you aren't lying to me..." Zack said to Namsoo, ignoring Areum and smiling slightly. Which honestly looked terrifying.

"Dude, stop that..."

"Zack, whatcha talking about?" Yui asked, suddenly appearing.

"Namsoo got beaten up by some scammers while trying to buy me some J0rd@ns." Zack explained.

"Hm... do you still have their contact?" Yui asked Namsoo.

"Oh yeah. It's still here." Namsoo said while quickly pulling his phone out and opening up his contacts. "Her!"

Namsoo showed Zack and Yui the contact photo.

"Wow! It was a girl?"

"No, I thought it was a girl but a bunch of guys showed up with her." Namsoo explained.

"Oh." Zack said, his irritation rising. "Now I know the story."

"Yikes!" Namsoo thought. "I forgot!"

"That fake phone is worth money." Yui explained. "They'll max it till it's reported. Let's find their number on Craigslist."

Yui was able to find the scammers on her laptop and showed it to them.

"Woah! Here it is! So these are all of these punk's fake items!"

"You could use your phone and pretend you're interested in buying them, Zack."

"That way I could meet these rip off artists in person." Zack brewed.

"Jesus Zack..." Areum said.

"Zack. First change your profile pic and text them." Yui said. "If they think they're talking to a pushover like Namsoo, they'll come."

"Oh I see."

"Hmph!!"

"Let's see... any pushovers here..." Yui said, grabbing Zack's phone. "Hey Jiho. Look over here!"

"Huh?" Jiho asked, clueless, turning around.

Yui snapped a photo of Jiho as soon as he turned around.

"Okay," Yui said "Thanks."

"Nice! If they see that baby face, they'll fall for 100%!" Zack exclaimed.

"Haha you're right!" Yui replied.

"I'm not sure what's going on..." Jiho thought. "But I feel very unpleasant."

"You and me both, Jiho..." Areum thought as if she knew what Jiho was thinking.

"Jiho..." Daniel thought, since he heard the baby face comment the clearest since he sat next to Zack.

"Now we have to message them as if we're buyers?" Zack asked as he tapped his phone like an old person.

"Yep, and say you have to meet in person." Yui explained.

"Actually... why am I here?" Areum thought, since she was originally hanging out with Zack before this all started.

"Oh!" Zack exclaimed, pulling Areum out of her thoughts. "They replied! They wanna meet at Gian Station."

"Huh? They told me Gian Station was a half-way meet up!" Namsoo spoke up, shocked.

"They must live near there, but lied." Yui explained to him. "It's a common trick."

"Hey, Yui." Daniel asked a bit awkwardly. "How do you know all this?"

"Oh! My ex was a scammer too so I saw it a lot."

"Oh..." Daniel thought. "That guy..."

"Without Zack, he'd still be around."

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Zack whisper yelled.

"Huh?" Areum said, audibly confused.

"It's better not to ask..." Daniel said.

"Okay, ignoring the thing about Zack." Areum said before turning to Yui. "You just watched your ex do all that?"

"Uh... well..." Yui started. "He was a cool and strong guy... he's all I had."

Areum's face softened for a second. Despite that being sad, Areum was still mad at Yui. After all, she basically ruined her life... her bare face's life that is. And Areum couldn't forgive Yui that easily. Especially what that caused her to feel after... that incident.

Suddenly Zack stood up.

"Let's go." When Zack said that, his friends (or lackeys) instantly rose up too.

"Good thing we only had AM classes today."

"We'll meet them at Gian Station at 3."

"That is a rough neighborhood."

"Should we take the metro?"

"What idiots..." Areum thought.

"What are you doing?" Doo said which caught Daniel's attention. "Let's go. We'll eat first."

"Hey, just relax." Zack said. "I'll go alone."

"Ah!" Daniel exclaimed. "I was just getting my things!" 

Daniel quickly stood up and grabbed his school blazer and tucking in his chair.

"Haha so slow."

The group of boys quickly left to go and confront those scammers.

"What idiots." Areum muttered.

"Clearly..." Mira mumbled.

Yui suddenly wrapped her arm around Namsoo who had been packing up his things.

"Hey. Show me. We're gonna follow them." Yui kindly demanded.

"What? I'm coming too!" Mira exclaimed, slamming her hands down on her desk and standing up. "I gotta buy something at the stationary store in that area!"

"Mira, you don't have to lie, we know you like Zack." Areum said to her. "But I'm also worried about them, so I'm coming too!"

So a team of worrying girls and a nervous loser was formed.
